Question 9: Can different equipotential lines cross each other?
and V. Now if two equipotential surfaces or lines intersect each other at some point it means there are two values of electric intensity and electric potential V at that particular point. However, it is not possible for a point to have two values of and V at the same time. Therefore, it is not possible for two different equipotential surfaces to cross each other.
ANSWER
It is not possible for two equipotential surfaces (or lines) to cross each other. This is because each equipotential surface (line) has a constant value ofand V. Now if two equipotential surfaces or lines intersect each other at some point it means there are two values of electric intensity and electric potential V at that particular point. However, it is not possible for a point to have two values of and V at the same time. Therefore, it is not possible for two different equipotential surfaces to cross each other.
